The "Certificate in Football Management" Program came to Bucharest

The Romanian Football Federation launched an educational program which provides the participants with the opportunity to develop their sport management skills, with particular focus on football. The first seminar of the course organized in cooperation with UEFA and the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration of the University of Lausanne took place from 6 to 7 July in Bucharest. Two more sessions will follow in October 2017 and March 2018. The participants, coming from Romanian clubs and regional football associations, the Romanian Football Federation and other national associations, and also former football players, will also attend eight online modules.

The UEFA Certificate in Football Management (CFM), an educational initiative funded under the UEFA HatTrick Program, is intended for those involved in football in Europe who wish to develop or expand their theoretical and practical knowledge in football management. The main topics addressed by the course are: The Organization of Football, Strategic and Performance Management, Operational Management, Football Marketing and Sponsorship, Communication and Public Relations, Event and Volunteer Management. On the completion of this course in March 2018, participants will receive a Certificate of Higher Education.

"CFM" is part of the educational programs organized by the Romanian Football Federation in Romania whose purpose is to train and educate football managers in accordance with the European standards. This is also one of the objectives of the 2015/2020 Strategic Plan for the Development of Football in Romania.
